- Mad Max: Fury Road has always been praised for its technical brilliance, but what message lies underneath the groundbreaking action set-pieces? In this analysis, I explore the thematic layers of George Miller’s masterpiece and explain how the story's key message centers around Max learning to become a moral man in a world that expects him to be a self-serving brute.

This is my favourite movie from the past decade and your thoughts on it are a lot similar to my own. One scene I'd like to add to the discussion is the one where Max washes the blood from his face with mother's milk. I think this is the moment where his transformation is complete, because milk is often used as a symbol for innocence and youth, aspecially milk designed for human babies.
Another great parallel is the seeds. We first hear bullets being called anti-seeds and later we meet a character simply known as The Seedkeeper.
I enjoy symbolism in films and books, and I must say, that is an excellent observation on the milk and the blood connection.
I realize I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Gael Kenzo Try FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Gavin Jesse yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
@Gavin Jesse thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!!
Also when Max says his name its played like he also just remembered it.
Absolutely, yes.
I can’t believe this dude doesn’t have millions of views
That was a very interesting point you made about Fury Road being pretty much a movie about a single man trying to remember his name. It's true. The entire premise of Fury Road (and other Mad Max films) is that it's about Max returning to society, finding his human side again. I mean, George Miller pushes Max away from society each time we see him only to bring him back in every movie but with this one it's pretty extreme.
The first time we see Max he's so removed from humanity he can barely speak and behaves like an animal. It's funny how some people thought Tom Hardy couldn't pull off the Australian accent because of the grunts and pointing at things but that was a deliberate decision. By the end of the film Max actually acknowledges who he really is and his journey from an animal to a human being is complete, only to be sent off into the wasteland once again.
This is by far the best analysis I’ve seen on this movie. Your points are so complex and rich, it’s easy for so many people to overlook such values the film seems to be promoting instead of something more superficial or political commentary-esque I’ve seen in other videos.
These types of videos help me remember why I love film so much. Thank you.
I got to say dude you took me someplace that I never thought but you did a great job of breaking this down and kudos to you man I'm going to give you a thumbs up and I'm going to subscribe because I'm impressed
Just would like to say, you deserve more views & appreciation... well done 👏🏻
Might be my favorite movie of all time honestly.... It’s insanely incredible how so much can happen and come to fruition all within a race and chase away and back to the Citadel. I can go on and on about how great this movie is, and how many different messages it relays. But you summed it up quite well. Kudos to you!
Absolutely. Pretty remarkable creation by George Miller. And thanks, much appreciated 🙏
The biggest arc is that of Nux, the warboy who eventually sacrifices himself so the others can live. Witness him.
Great analysis!! So well explained and connecting visually on screen too, from a student about to write her thesis on the film!
Thank you very much. I'm jealous that you get to write about such an incredible film 😂 I hope it goes well for you.
Great film and commentary. One correction: Max didn't have a daughter. His son's name was Sprog.
Yea I was wondering about that too, I’ve come to the thought that maybe he doesn’t remember if he had a son or daughter that he’s forgotten them in a way but remembers the pain , losing the connection to his past family
@@jimejohns4988 it's from a comic, he tried to save this mother and daughter but he failed
Max never had a daughter. He had a wife, and baby boy. Watch the first movie!
I don’t care what the reviews say! This movie was absolutely insane. Loved every minute of it and am waiting for more.
Max lost his identity after he couldn’t save a woman and her child in Bullet or Gas town before the shooting of Fury road.
Maybe he has forgotten his wife and child long ago and this event was enough to send him over the edge of insanity.
No, He has not forgot anyone, they still haunt him, that is the reason why he left at the end of Fury Road, He is a drifter, looking for home he doesn't have, He actually prefers to be left in pain alone.
Late to the party, here, but Fury Road definitely had a script.
One of the biggest things i noticed about all of Miller's films are that women are the embodiment and carriers of civilization, cooperation, and genuine survival. From Auntie Entity to the women of the gastown in the second film, its women who keep the stories of the old world, and who are most likely to a learn lesson from them.
I think you are right about that. There are a quite a few film makers who you see sort of anchor the films morality around women and children. Children specifically nowadays. There are a lot of "rough people who are forced to protect a child" nowadays. But with Miller, I think you are right. The women are used to show hope and future. Appreciate the comment.
@@LifeIsAStory correction the girl we see isn’t his daughter. It was someone he failed to protect as revealed in the comics. His family is dead as of the first movie.
and Miss Giddy is a "word burger" (scholar) in Fury Road movie and comic
Right. Absolutely.
Huh... That's very insightful... I love this film and missed that point. That it's about Max finding himself via the concept of finding hope.
Well played sir.
🙏
Very cool picture on your avatar!) Looks like a Winston indeed!
This is way to good of an analysis to not get attention we all need to share this video
Appreciate it! Probably the video I’m most proud of.
good analysis, and commentary. it's been a while since i've seen it and i think that needs to change. :)
He's defining "Hope" in that scene as wishful thinking. Just hoping without doing anything. However, "fixing what's broken" is a statement about hope. Ironically, it's the most poignant message of apocalyptic fiction: Seeing the bad stuff, so you can see the world beyond it, stripping down all the rubbish so we can define what's important, and have a reset.
Whole sh#t. Your break downs are so frikn insightful. I have watched 4 of your reviews. All amazingly great. Im going to watch this video right now because of you but I feel it won't be as good as your review. Thank you boss.
Max and Jesse had a son, Sprog. The Girl died in the backstory comic book.
The original Mad Max was made on a shoestring in and around Melbourne where I live. I have a pair of motorcycle boots bought when they were selling everything off at the end of filming. Unless Mel Gibson has size 11 feet I don't think they were his.
Insightful analysis. I guess I didnt think much of this movie at the time. Looks like I should have payed better attention as it seems more interesting now.
Man just wow! a really good analysis of the film. I recommend you to use a better thumbnail and title to get more views because the content is truly amazing and this video deserves more views.
Wishing you good luck on your youtube journey!
Very much appreciate it! And yeah I need to learn a bit more about thumbnail design.
@@LifeIsAStory I like it! It’s artsy and represents your video. The only thing I can think is perhaps a font that “pops” more but you don’t need click bait cliches.
@@ghandimanI have never been able to find the right look for this video lol.
Love this movie. All mad max movies.
I thought the director was kinda tricking everyone it has all the cookie cutter stuff but I thought nix or nob whatever his name was not only the moral of the story but truly the main character.
It's really shame you didn't discuss The Guitar Guy 😀😀😀😀
Max and Jesse did not have a daughter, they had a son, Sproggle or Sprog.
The girl died in the prequel comix
there's a theory that says this isn't Mad Max anymore. but the Feral Child from Road Warrior. He left the Great Northern Tribe to find his way but eventually returned to his civilization to lead it. That's why he hesitates to tell his name to Furiosa.
of course it's just a theory, personally i don't like it but if it is the case i wouldn't mind
I had to go here coz I didn't get at least 75% of the movie. 😅 But the action scenes are top notch.
Max had a son in the original movie who was killed with his wife. as in mad max 2 the road warrior you see him leaving 2 graves
Character development is the truth spectacle the veil
John 1 (KJV)
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
I thought there was no screenplay because of the writer’s strike at the time.
Could be. I heard it was a creative choice but that’d make sense.

Type 95
Seawolf
Max had a son, NOT A DAUGHTER!!!
In relation to the Christian imagery of light shining in the darkness:
“The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined.”
Isaiah 9:2 NKJV
“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.””
Matthew 4:16 NKJV
The creation accounts in Genesis and the Gospel of John have very specific language about the creation of light and it being separated from darkness:
“And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.”
Genesis 1:4 NKJV
“And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
John 1:5 NKJV
This imagery correlates to the division of good and evil:
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4 NKJV
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:21 NKJV
Ever tot of making a short indie film yourself? Surely it would be better then most of the main stream nonsense out there now days.
The entire story is a chase scene. Once they get far away they decide to turn around and go back. That's the movie. And that's always been my critique. I didn't know there wasn't a script. This explains a lot. That's the take away message.
3:12 why should he when they wouldn’t care for him? That’s his biggest mistake. Let them fend for themselves and be on your way
I was highly disappointed when I found out Mel Gibson wasn't in this one.
Did you even watch the movie? My guy over here missed at least half the movie.
I guess they decided to just finish Max off and make him into a non human.
If this didn’t have a budget it would have been a straight to video. It’s not a good Max movie
Not good? What make you said that?
U are out of ur mind
I agree . The only interesting characters were the crazy killer old women.
Nobody wants more furiousa
I see you made so many comments without backing up your claims
This movie has one of the worst story lines in history. Oh, hang on, it has no story. On the other hand, the original Mad Max movie is one of the best movies of all kind, great character development, great story telling, great world building. Fast forward to 2015, and Miller is just cashing in on effects to sacrifice story. Even Mad Max 3 is better than this.
It has no story? You must be blind or deaf or both lol.
@@MrDrezzy007 Nice, someone has an opinon and you throw insults at me. I shouldn't be surprised though, not in this current climate. Thank you for kind wisdom and insight.
@@grege1298 don't be an asshole. Say what you really mean.
@@MrDrezzy007 Why thank you, I feel blessed by this high level of conversation, you are obviously a very intelligent person.
@@grege1298 passive aggressive at its best. Go and watch the marvel movies, thats your IQ level.
Bruhhhhhhhh your take sucks!!!
